Andhera Ujala (Urdu: اندھیرا اجالا, English: Darkness, Brightness) was a popular Pakistani crime investigation television series aired on Pakistan Television (PTV) during the 1984–85 season, written by Younis Javed and directed by Rashid Dar.

It also had an occasional touch of comic moments, mainly centred upon the character of a police constable,"Havaldar Karam Dad." The leading cast of the series included Irfan Khoosat, Jamil Fakhri, Qavi Khan, Rahat Kazmi and Abid Butt (sub-inspector).[1] The main theme of this TV series was based on the 1983 drama Ragon mein Andhera, which aired on 29 December 1983[2] and was to show a police team fighting crime in their locality. This TV drama serial later went on to become so popular among the public due to its reruns that it became a 'cult classic'.[3]
